Brand: Ceil Chapman
Size on tag: unknown
Fits like: xs
Color: pale blue
Material: cotton/lace
Condition: Good Vintage: The lace sections had to be reconstructed with similar lace ribbon since there was significant breaks in the original lace. The most noticeable are under the arms and on the straps which are noted in the last picture. The inner sheer silk lining has breaks in it. There might be some other small breaks in the lace sections that we didn't catch, but these are super minor. Priced accordingly.
